GridSplitter Control needed

[Michael Sync]

Hello All,

Does anyone know the WPF grid splitter control that can be docked on button click? If I click the button (in "red" color), I want to move the splitter to right side as shown in picture #2. If you know any control that can provide this feature, please let me know .. Otherwise, I will have created my own one. Thanks.

I am sure with a nice GridSplitter template and some MultiBinding that would be easy to achieve.

 

Simply put a button as part of the grid splitter template, have a MutiBinding that takes in the parent grid, have an attached bahvaiour for the Button which uses the values from the MutiBinding and does the docking for you

Michael,

 

I’ve done this several times.

 

When clicked, I collapse the row/column that the splitter controls.

 

You can also get the cool Outlook collapse effect by reducing the row/column to a small fixed size and display some text.

 

One item you have to keep track of is the row/column size so when the button is clicked again (when collapsed) it will return to the same size.

 

When you do this, make sure your arrows actually point to the direction of movement.  The bottom applications points left but collapses (fully expands) to the right.

 

I can whip up an example pretty quick if you need it.  Just let me know.

 

Cheers,

Hi Sacha and Karl,

Michael,

 

That code does not remember the size of the row/column when its collapsed, it always expands to the same size, regardless of the size when collapsed.

 

To make your great, add that feature in, your users will really appreciate it.

Hi Karl,

 

This is very good point. I will try to see what I can do to remember the old position of splitter. If you can whip up an example pretty quick then I would like to get it. Thanks a lot, Karl. :)

Can you send it to the group I have a need for that also. I could do it myself, but I is lazy.
